 Our robot throws custom $5.50 FIRST Frisbees at a rate of 75 discs per minute and a speed of ~32 feet per second.
It costs over $80 to feed our robot for 12 seconds. - Woolly [more] |

Re: New Robosapien's father is a Segway....
I have had a Robosapien since around June of 2004 and it is sitting on the shelf. I wish it had a rechargable battery pack, batteries are expensive!
They are cool, but I wish you had more control over them. I mean who likes shoulders that move to three positions? I wish they had proportional control like RC cars, not programmed steps! I would also like to see some sort of pc to robosapien interface where you can program and control it with a computer! Can anyone say Robosapien V2 with wheels? Anyway, with Segway's technology I hope they are building something cool!

Re: New Robosapien's father is a Segway....
I could, but two separate three volt packs would be needed because each foot has two D battery's in them.
That, and I am too lazy to do it, besides I have enough other things to do! Maybe I should put this expensive soldering station sitting here on my desk to use, however, I'd rather play with my real RC's, time permitting.

Re: New Robosapien's father is a Segway....
Anyone interested in moding a robosapien might want to look at one of these sites:
http://www.robosapien.tk/ (This site tells you how to add a battery pack, also includes a robosapien flamethrower mod!) http://homepages.strath.ac.uk/~lau01...ackrobos.shtml Last edited by mechanicalbrain : 07-10-2005 at 21:12.

Re: New Robosapien's father is a Segway....
It looks like Segway is planning on licensing to other companies as well.
From todays NASA Tech Briefs Motion Control Newsletter: SMART MOTION Segway Inc. (Bedford, NH) has announced plans to license its Segway(R) Smart Motion technology to third-party companies and in some cases co-develop products with other manufacturers using the technology. The company also announced that Hong Kong-based WowWee Ltd., parent company of WowWee Robotics, will be the first third-party company to employ Segway Smart Motion in products that will publicly debut in 2006. "Our technical team has developed a unique knowledge base that integrates controls engineering, embedded systems, advanced energy systems and sensor technologies. This knowledge can now be quickly applied to entirely new applications and product categories by leveraging Segway Smart Motion technology," said Doug Field, vice president of product development.
